It is my understanding that everyone is welcome...the only time I heard "invitation" only was during construction and testing of the board. Now I am told that everyone is welcome...

Yup, everyone is welcome. We sent out pm's to people to 'invite' people, but that was meant in the broad sense of 'invite people who you think might enjoy it here' not 'only people you invite are welcome'. Anyone is welcome as long as they play nice, and by all the rules. Both on the main board and fan fiction. Hope that clears it up for you Sarry xx

i've heard through the grapevine that some folks aren't welcome here...that it's "invitation only." could someone please explain that to me? Thanks, eileen What sarry said. ;D But in case anyone needs to hear it from the admin: EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
While the board was Under Construction, we invited a few folks in to look around and make suggestions on how to improve it. Now that it's open to the public, I'm planning to increase membership mostly by word of mouth, rather than attract strangers through Google and other search engines. That way, I figure we'll mostly get people who will fit in easily with our culture -- after all, someone here already likes them and thinks they'll be a good addition to the group. If I tried to get a high ranking on Google et al, we would also be found by trolls and other troublemakers. I'd rather have the membership numbers stay small than make it easy for jerks to find us. So, anyone and everyone here is encouraged to invite new folks! And anyone who wanders in and likes the place is also most welcome! If/when jerks find us, I'll swat them, and (as it says in the FAQs) trolls will be shot and skinned. Everyone who shows up and Plays Nice is welcomed with open arms and is a full-fledged member right from the start -- this is even a friendly place for newbies to get their cyber-feet wet.

Hi everyone,
I've been invited to check out the new board. I've been away from the blogging thing for a while and hope to come by more often now. At least until the time changes. Then I'll probably be back outside again.
So far everything looks great. Hope to type to you all soon and often.

Welcome! It would be great if you could introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" thread too -- it's in the Comfy Chairs and Cybercookies forum.

oh oh oh i found out what happened to the showgirls. shelly and jake are in Italy. one of the youngers, jill called me to see how i'm doing, bless her/his heart. they couldn't talk anyone to come visit them over christmas so they went to italy. no wonder they aren't answering their cell phone. jill is a wonderful young person. i was sick in bed for a couple weeks last year and the boys sent her over to cook and clean my house. she was the one that told the folks at the casino i'd be a trip to work with them. good thing i didn't cause then not 3 months later Shelly got diagnosed with the cancer and had to quit. well i've gotta go and get some sleep.

Glad to hear Shelly and Jake aren't peeved at you, furrymom! And they must be okay generally if they can jaunt off to Italy on a whim. ;D
